The various exhibits were net read, but it was announced that thev mlcht be examined by theie who cared te sec them.

Mr. Beber explaining before Mr. Mendcnhall be gan, that the statement wns the fruit of two dnys of conferences between the former head of the firm nnd the referee's attorney, and thut the reading of it would save days of questioning. Fred T. Chandler, Jr., of this city, and Edward S. Llttle and L. E. War ing, the Inst named being the New Yerk members of the firm, were net present te hear their former chief's recital. Mr. Mendcnhall explained that th firm of Clurk, Chllds &. Ce., the Chan dler firm's New Y'erk correspondent, had requested permission te go ever the Chandler books, but this had been re fused, in an efl'ett te conceal the real condition of the firm's affairs after a falling market had caused them heavy les&cs. Demanded Millien nt Once Mr. Mendcnhall said Clark. Chllds & Ce. had been the Chandler firm's principal correspondents ; that in De cember. 1020. notified the Chnndlcr firm of n $1,000,000 shortage In its mar ginal account, and demanded the money be sent nt once In ensh or securities. After n conference with n "Mr. Mcf fert," of the New Yerk firm, It was agreed that Chnndler Brethers, should tnkc up curb stocks of face value of $200,000; pay $200,000 te S250.000 that bame day in cash or securities and continue te pay ever casii or securities until the ncceunt wns en u sound basis. According te the statement, Percy M. Chnndlcr, Mr. Mendenhnll and the ether partners of Chandler Brethers & Ce. held n conference in New Yerk te discuss means of raising money. "It was nt this time," says the statement, "that we realized that we were insolvent unless we could renllze en the book accounts due, for which we held little or no collateral." Mr. Mendenhnll then explained that thu firm's distress wns caused by the decline of the market in the summer nnd full of 1!20. The firm could net get additional collateral from margin customers, and could net sell them out for fenr of losing everything, whereas the market might recover If the cus tomers were "curried." New Yerlters Insistent The Chandler account wns brought te a condition where, according te Mcn deuliuli, "we had an equity of nbeut $1)00,000, which however, was net the full equity we should have carried." Mr. Meffert. of Clark, Chllds & Ce., cume te Philadelphia "and said there must be something wrong with Chnn dler Brethers & Ce., that thej appar ently were net calling for sufficient margin fiem their customers and sug gested that Clark, Chllds & Ce. go ever the books. "As a result of the conference be tween the four partners and P. M. Chnndler, It was deemed advisable net te permit Clark, Chllds & Ce. te go ever the books at that time, as it would leveiil te them the real conditions, which would cause the New Yerk firm te clese out the account, and It could tin.

By the Associated Press Londen, Nev. 13. Sir James Craig, tbe Ulelcr Premier, hag ncccpted the Government's Invitation, dispatched yesterday, te come te Londen nnd con Milt it ns te Ulster's nttitude toward the proposals regarding the Ulster boundary and ether questions involved in the Irish settlement. Sir James, it is stated, will discuss specific plnns, submitted te the Govern ment by the Sinn Fein, of such a chnr nctcr thut the Government thinks them feasible if Ulster agrees re them. These plans de net, however, embody nny agreement definitely reached between the Government nnd the Sinn Fein. The Ulster Premier has said through out that he would net Intervene until nteh nn agreement wni reached, but has new consented te discuss the pro pre visional proposals. Twe Phases, te Ulster .Question The Ulster question has been dli cussed between the Cabinet and the Sinn Feiiv .representatives along the lines of two different plans. The question Is net merely one of the Counties of Tyrene nnd Fermanagh, but of ether separable natiennlist districts, new under the Northern "Parliament, in which a plebiscite is being urged net by counties but by districts. The rcsplt, according te estimates of authorities en the situation, probably would be te give Southern Ireland the city of London derry, Seuth Down. Seuth Armagh nnd parts of Tyrene and Fermanagh. The Ulster view is that this would leave the Northern Parliament with insufficient territory. The alternative suggestion is te give the Northern Parliament nil the nine counties of Ulster originally included In the Ulster covenant. This would make simpler the problem of representation of the two Parliaments In the central fed eral body, as the inequality in the size of the two areas Would be diminished, the Nationalist representation from the North being Increased. Ulster Cabinet Hesitates The Northern Irelnnd Cabinet, how ever, is unwilling te accept all of Ulster, it appears, asserting thut It could count only en nn uncertain minority, and fearing thai- one of the first acts of nn nil-Ulster Parliament might be te dis solve Itself nud join with Southern Ire land. Eamon de Vnlera, who Is being con stantly consulted nt all stages of the negotiations, is in full accord with tlie line of policy regarding Ulster pursued by the Dnil Eireunu delegates, it is de clared, this policy following up under takings given by .Mr. De Vnlera te Sinn Fein deputations from Ulster. The decision that the time hnd come te consult Sir Jnmes Craig en the plans was reached only yesterday, nnd he re plied at once, saying he would be in Londen Saturday. It was said at Sinn Fein headniiarters tliis morning that there could bu no im portant developments in the situation before Monday, although some meetings te discuss points of details mifSht be held meanwhile. A similnr view wns ex pressed ut the Irish efhee here. SHIP BURNING 400 MILES SOUTHEAST OF HALIFAX Large Vessel, Identity Unknown, Reported en Fire by Oil Liner Halifax, N. S., Nev. 3. i By A. P.)

K.v CLINTON W. GILBERT Statr ('orrrnen(lrnt Kirnlne I'nbllr Idxer Copvrleht, toil, bv Public Ltdatr Company Washington, Nev. I!. An English jetirnnlist who knows his Paris well sums up Arlrtide Brinnd thui: "He is te France what Lloyd Geergt is te England." It Is an easy generalization. H might have added, what Mr. Hnrdlne is te America, the President being, Mys the Mirrors of Washington, the em bodiment of that simplicity, that con formity te the average, that "just folks" quality, which the people of this country admire. But nations are se various. Oat might have said that M. Clemcnccau wa France. And he wns, tee, that iron 'France which hns held her rooted te her place, though overrun by Meer, by English and by Germans, again and again, in the course of th centuries. And Mr. Briand is as different front Mr. Clemcnccau as the man about town of Paris Is from the peasant of the French provinces. The English journalist went one better. "If you say Llejd Geerge Is a whisky and soda, jeu mny say that Briand is one of these highly colored, slightly sweet drinks tlint one suvers in front of n French cafe." "Highly colored, slightly sweet." Mr. Briand is the most colorful per sonality in the conference. Fancy, there are two orators, two great orator in ,tbe French delegation. Where clw can one find two orators, two? Mr. Harding might have put Senater Berah en his delegation and had one orator, but where could he find a second? And Mr. Briand has something in common with Senater Berah. He wears his hair long, which is net French. And the cartoons of Paris always pictur him ns covering his theatrical locks wltk a hut that would de in Idaho. Vivian! France's Greatest Orator Te return te orators, Mr. Viviani, who i second in tlie French delegation and will be first, when Mr. Briand re-, turns home, is France's greatest orator." M. Briand Is France's second greatest orator. It is a pity lie does net speak English, or that we de net all under stand French, for then he would add much picturesqueness te the mcctln one small famine iitini crawling into a bed the moment another child vu cates it.
